Nine FRD

Take a Nine FRD frame and wrap it with a dream list of components, like SRAM’s XX-1 drivetrain, XX brakes, Easton XC90 wheel set and a Rock Shox Sid XX World Cup fork, and you get a bike so advanced, the race course won’t know what hit it.

This indicates the use of flow-through internal cable routing. It reduces wind drag and prevents contaminants from entering and interfering with the function of brake or shifter cables.

This bicycle is also available as a frame or frameset. Note that frame or frameset may not graphically mirror this complete bike.

InsideOut is a revolutionary internally optimized molding process that completely eliminates excess material, and therefore weight, inside the frame tubes and junctions. Placing polyurethane inserts inside the frame during the molding process—especially at the bottom bracket and head tube area—and then applying a precise amount of pressure and heat results in perfectly formed tubes, inside and out.

By using a ControlTaper head tube with 1-1/8” upper bearings and 1-1/2” lower bearings, Felt is able to significantly improve front-end stiffness and steering precision without adding weight to the frameset.

Modular Monocoque Construction is an advanced carbon fiber manufacturing technique that allows Felt to mold individual sections of the frameset and then join them together. The main advantage of MMC is that it allows each section to be optimized to meet the specific engineering demands of that particular section of the frame.
